SUMMARY:NAMIBIA ROAD TRIP
DESCRIPTION:NAMIBIA ROAD TRIP\nNamibia is a land of rugged beauty\, vast deserts\, towering sand dunes\, and expansive savannahs. A road trip through this enchanting country promises an adventure of a lifetime. \nDriving along the rugged dirt roads of Namibia\, you will encounter spectacular landscapes that seem to stretch out into infinity. The towering sand dunes of Sossusvlei are a must-see\, with their striking red-orange hues that change colors throughout the day. Climbing to the top of these dunes will leave you breathless both from the stunning views and the exertion of the climb. \nIn short\, a road trip through Namibia is an adventure that will fill your senses and leave you with memories that will last a lifetime. So pack your bags\, hit the road\, and let the magic of Namibia unfold before you! \n  \nPS: TBT is on its Continent Cover 0.2 trip\, which covers 15 countries and 60 days from 24 April to 22 June. We will be coming to Namibia from South Africa. You can join us for South Africa\, Kenya\, Tanzania or Morocco as well—WhatsApp at 9029099709 for more details.\n\n\nNamibia Road Trip Itinerary(Activities) :\n\nDay 1 (20-May): Windhoek\nDay 2 (21-May): Kokerboom Word\nDay 3 (22-May): Fish River Canyon\nDay 4 (23-May): Sesriem\nDay 5 (24-May): Swakopmund/Walvis bay\nDay 6 (25-May): Spitzope\nDay 7 (26-May):  Cape Cross Seal Reserve\nDay 8 (27-May): Windhoek\n\n\n\n\n\nHighlights\n\nSpend time in one of the world’s largest and oldest deserts (43 million years)\nEnjoy free time to explore incredible landscapes near Sesriem Canyon\nRelax in two picturesque towns on the Atlantic (one with German history)\nSpend a night at Spitzkoppe\, an outdoor paradise known for hiking and climbing\nPick up authentic African goodies at the Namibia Craft Center\n\n\n\n\nDay 1: Windhoek\n\nWelcome to Namibia! Upon arrival at the Hosea Kutako International Airport\, it’s time to pick up a rental car and proceed to your hotel in Namibia’s capital city\, Windhoek—a great base to begin your road trip adventure. This tidy and modern city has a western flair that mixes nicely with urban Africa’s colors\, sounds\, and tempos.\n\n\nChristuskirche (Christ Church)\nParliament Gardens\nAlte Feste (the Old Fort)\nHeroes’ Acre\, the monument is situated outside of the city on the B1 highway. You can visit it on the way to Ketmanshoop\nGibeon meteorites at Post Street Mall\nIndependence Memorial Museum\n\n \n\nDay 2: Drive from Windhoek to the Namib Desert\n\n\n\n\nAfter breakfast in Windhoek\, you’ll begin the drive to the Namib Desert (211 mi/340 km)\, one of the oldest and largest deserts in the world. In fact\, the Namib stretches far and wide\, covering large swathes of land in Namibia\, as well as parts of South Africa and Angola. The distinct arid climate supports a diverse number of plants and animals\, some of which are found nowhere else in the world. \nOnce you reach the desert\, you’ll be making your way to the Sesriem area\, a small settlement close to the southern end of the Naukluft Mountains. You’ll drive over the Khomas Hochland highland region along the way as you head west toward the great escarpment. You’ll then descend this escarpment via Namibia’s highest mountain pass\, Spreetshoogte\, to enter Sesriem in the central region of Namibia. \n\n\n\n\n\nDay 3: Tour the Sossusvlei Desert\n\n\nToday\, you’ll take part in an early morning excursion that travels along the path of the ancient Tsauchab River into the Namib Sand Sea. The adventure highlights the Sossusvlei Desert\, including Dune 45 and Dead Vlei—all surrounded by red dunes in the southern part of the Namib Desert. \nIn the afternoon\, you’ll have time to enjoy the landscapes and views around Sesriem Canyon\, carved into the Tsauchab River over millions of years\, resulting in a narrow gorge of just over a half-mile in length. At the foot of the gorge\, which plunges over 100 feet (30 m)\, are pools that replenish after a good rain. Sesriem derives its name from the time when early pioneers tied six lengths of rawhide thongs (“Ses Rieme”) together to draw water from these pools. \nDay 4: Drive from Sesriem to Swakopmund ( German-influenced town of Swakopmund)\n\n\nToday\, you’ll make the drive to Swakopmund (224 mi)\, a coastal city facing the Atlantic Ocean. \nAs you depart the Namib Desert from Sesriem\, continue north along the eastern boundary of Namib Naukluft Park. You’ll then pass through the small settlement of Solitaire and onward via the Gaub and Kuiseb canyons. Continue across the gravel plains of the Namib Desert toward the country’s largest coastal town\, Swakopmund. If there’s time\, you may wish to travel to Swakopmund via the erosional feature of Moon Valley and see Namibia’s ancient plant species\, called the Welwitschia mirabilis\, which is endemic to the Namib Desert. \n\n\nDay 5: Explore Swakopmund & Walvis Bay 9Sand dunes near the town of Walvis Bay)\n\n\nToday\, you’ll have the entire day to explore Swakopmund\, and another picturesque coastal town nearby called Walvis Bay at your own pace. Though Walvis Bay doesn’t have the same charming German architecture as Swakopmund (thanks to the British)\, you can find a new waterfront development\, great food options\, and beautiful dunes that jut up against the Atlantic. \nYou can also sign up for one of the unique experiences in the area\, like the Dolphin Cruise\, which sets sail from Walvis Bay Harbour. This is ideal for travelers who’d like to get up close to dolphins\, as well as Cape fur seals and flamingo colonies. In addition\, there are more desert day-trip excursions to choose from\, like quad biking or dune boarding. \nDay 6: Drive from Swakopmund to Spitzkoppe (Unique rock formations of pink granite in Spitzkoppe)\n\n\nThis morning\, plan on an early departure from Swakopmund as you make your way to Spitzkoppe (112 mi/180 km). You’ll first head northbound through the National West Coast Recreational Area toward the small fishing town of Henties Bay. If you have time\, make sure to stop in Cape Cross and say hello to the Cape fur seal colony here (this is also the place where the first European set foot on the coast of Namibia in 1486.) \nLeaving the coast\, you’ll continue toward the region known as Spitzkoppe\, called “Matterhorn of Namibia\,” which consists of a group of bald granite peaks between Usakos and Swakopmund in the Namib Desert. The granite is more than 120 million years old\, and the highest outcrop rises about 5669 feet (1\,728 m) above sea level.  Prepare to be wowed: The peaks stand out dramatically from the flat surrounding plains and beckon outdoor enthusiasts. The highest peak is about 2\,200 feet (670 m) above the floor of the desert below\, while a minor peak—called the Little Spitzkoppe—lies nearby at an elevation of  5\,197 feet (1\,584 m). \nDay 7: Drive from Spitzkoppe to Windhoek\n\n\n\nAfter breakfast\, grab your camera and take advantage of the morning light. This beautiful area is a hikers’ and rock climbers’ paradise\, and the view from the top of the peaks is an incredible reward for the effort to get there. For history buffs\, organized guided walks are available where a guide will take you to view some of the numerous rock art sites\, explaining the stories captured in the ancient drawings. \nWhen you’re ready\, make the drive back to Windhoek (174 mi/280 km) for your last night of the trip. If there’s time left in the afternoon\, feel free to visit any museums\, craft stalls\, and restaurants that you may have missed at the beginning of your trip. Of course\, you can find plenty of options for places to sit back and sip an ice-cold beer. \nDay 8 : Depart Windhoek\n\nIt’s time to say goodbye to Namibia! After breakfast at your hotel in Windhoek\, depart for the airport with enough time to return your rental car and board your flight home.
